just a shot in the dark but:

boot into recovery

wipe cache and dalvik

format system

re-flash rom then flash kernel and reboot?

im not sure what all you have tried, so forgive me if this is lower level than what you are currently doing.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] XfandroidZ:
I've formated everything flashed different roms and kernel pairings. Nothing works. I appreciate your advice though.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
Weird. And you said twrp and cwm both do it? so its definitely not a bad recovery? i know this might seem like another shot in the dark but have you tried flashing from the ui like with this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1453617
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] XfandroidZ:
I sure have. It flashes then reboots hangs at the boot animation. I have to pull the battery then when i reboot the kerenl i tryed to flash over is still there. it really is the wierdest thing. cwm,twrp,rzr all recoverys wont flash the kernels. i think i am just gonna make a insurance claim on it next month.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] KodiakDraco:
Ok. I'll try your settings tomorrow and see if I have any luck. I stream music for 6-8 hours a day so anything that might get me better battery life would be great.

I streamed IHeartRadio and Tune In Radio with those settings today with no issues...not sure if its the same with music but no issues and I had deep idle on..
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
HI

Did this just start happening since loading matr1x or have you noticed it before. Have you tried wiping battery stats?

I have never seen anything that crazy.

Edit: I take that back. I just checked mine for the first time since last night and it looks very similar to yours. What's weird with mine is it's been off the charger for 18+ hours but only shows 6 hours off the charger.

I wonder if we both had a random restart which caused this weird behavior. Like I said my battery stats only go back 6 hours but it's been off the charger for just over 18.

You also show to have over 18 hours on you battery. Looks weird but still pretty good. Lol

If you look closely, you see 2 specs of green and a bump in the charge. I was pushing files at the time. I plugged in to charge with 10% left and took my screenshots. I actually could have done much better but while walking NYC, you will have areas where its 3g then 1x then search for signal so that hurt. Tomorrow you will see straight 3g/Wi Fi screenshots. Skunk Ape's settings listed above but also streaming radio through Bluetooth with the deep idle
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
Glad you liked the settings. Had the phone for almost two months before finally coming up with those setting. They made a big difference for me.

i have had this occasionally it is usually resolved by plugging the phone in to AC power and then booting into recovery and wiping battery stats and then rebooting. IDK why i have to have the phone on AC power but that seems to work best for me.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
Thanks I'll give it a try. However I haven't plugged my phone into a charger in over a month. I hope the old girl can handle it... ;)

WOW THATS SOME REEEEEEEAAAAALLLLYYYY LOOOONG BATTERY LIFE MAN!!!!!!

:p:p:p
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mushupork:
I'd be curious to see the effect of KSM on battery life.

As I understand from reading, the main purpose of it is to make better use of limited memory by combining separate process memory space into shared memory space. It does this by regularly scanning through memory, looking for "share"able memory pages. This seems like it would take significantly more CPU cycles to accomplish.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KSM

That said, I certainly wouldn't oppose it's inclusion, so long as it's optional just in case it's as big a battery hog as it sounds. :D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
Lol... I have 3 batteries and 2 stand alone chargers. I don't swap them or charge them until they are discharged to 2% or lower. My phone is not used as a charger... Lol

I'm on 4.0.3 so I've still got the Android OS reporting bug but I did notice that after taking Skunk Ape1's advice and freezing drmprotectedcontent.apk the percentage of Android OS shown under battery stats has halved. Used to show about the same amount as screen (30-40%) but now only shows 15-20%.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Definitely a great setup you came up with. I am running irtehun's build at the moment and it still flies at 800/200. Its nice being able to actually use the phone and not constantly stare at the battery anymore. Matrix 16.5 has,been working absolutely great. I even set the Voodoo color settings from Themes and Apps section and at low brightness I don't get the green screen flash.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] vng10:
hey john quick question what rom and theme are you running???

EDIT: nevermind haha
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] treyweez11:
Hey I'm using the new LOTA r1 and I can't get the green flicker to go away. Anyone have a voodoo setup that you would recommend? Is this a result of the rom or kernel. I'm using 16.5 btw

Edit: nvm got it. Set gamma all to 0. Color dosent look the best though.

Sent using Tapatalk, you know, the free version.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
If you use the irtehun ROM and Black Infinitum theme you will either have to add Go Launcher (but don't have to use it) and Go SMS. Either that or flash denverg's inverted mms. Adding GoSMS and Go Launcher is a quick fix and the black theme definitely helps a bit on battery
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Do you have brightness all of the way down? You can bump that up or reset the Voodoo color settings to zero. When you go negative it can cause the green flicker
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] forumsid987:
This new kernel is not good. I went back to 15.0 and things are running like they should. See my previous post too...

Sorry if this is off subject... but could some one explain or point me in the right direction on how to calibrate your battery, correctly?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

idk how I got here...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] joebarkho:
download battery callibration from the market, green icon.

When your battery is 100% go to the app, hit the calibrate button.

let your phone die then charge all the way to 100%. Don't charge it until your phone dies. and try not to interrupt the charge to 100% after your phone dies.

Not really the ROM. Battery savings are realized through the kernel and settings. Unless there are memory leaks the ROM had little to do with the battery.

Hey does anyone know the voodoo settings to get rid of the green on/off screen flash? Also how do you access the toggle for the deep idle. I don't know how to get to it.

Thanks.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
Did you kill the services? Change your habits? Like I said. I only turn on data when i need it. then turn it off before I turn off the screen.

If your indeed of those people who require your Facebook or Google+ to synch every minute it the day, you will never have decent battery life.

I defrost Facebook once a day to check for any new messages then it immediately gets frozen again. If I need more Facebook than that, it can wait until i get home to a computer. Face it, if you really need Facebook constantly running, you are probably overdoing it and a vacation from it, would probably be good.

While you can do so many things with phones now, how you use them will determine what kind of battery life you are going to get. I don't feel I use my phone any less than before but if the screen is not on and I'm not actually doing something with it. I turn off everything but the phone signal. I also try to keep all the battery draining apps I'm not using frozen.

1.5 days is the best I've gotten so far. But average 22-24 hours. I still actively use my phone for 4-5 hours a day. I have kind of made a game of seeing how long I can make my battery last while still being able to use it for 4-5 hours a day.

I can't help with the voodoo settings as i don't give a rats butt about the green flash. But can tell you that you need to download nstools or a like program to enable it. Nstools is available on the market for free. install it fixed it root access. Open it and go to the cpu tab and you can enable it there.

no green flash at all

i downloaded matrix 16.5 thru codename utility and I have no green flash at all. I mean none. I dont know what the diff is but I have the settings for that deep black and no green flash at all.

I just wish shane would fix ice cream infusion for this. the one from codename utility isnt quite complete. Man my spelling is terrible.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Skunk Ape...just double checked... was on on demand with the rest of your settings. Trying sio scheduler. Read good things about it
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
That kind of depends on the codename version you're running. V1.3.3 has the green flash. v1.4.0 doesn't. I think he may have done something to the rom to get that worked out.

oh i see. about the ice cream infusion thing, i thought i was on that thread.

are you using 1.3.3 0r 1.4.0
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
Your phone will still work as it always has. You will still receive your text and calls. What exactly it does, I don't know. I'm told it really doesn't help that much unless your phone is actively doing things with the screen off. Such as playing mp3 music. But to be honest, it does do something for my phone, as I normally get 1.5-2 hours more battery with it on than without it. And I basically turn off everything but the phone signal whenever I turn off the screen.

To tell you the truth I think killing the bad apps and services are the biggest part of it all. And turning off what you don't need is 2nd. Governors while they may add or subtract an hour or so, I don't feel they make as much difference as freezing constantly running services and apps do.

Myself, I prefer the wheatley gov over the lazy gov. The battery life for me are identical when I use the phone in the same manner. But the performance is better with the wheatley. Now if I use the phone more than normal the lazy provides better battery. You kind of see where I'm going with this. The Wheatley seems to save more battery with the screen off and at idle and the lazy seems to save more than the wheatley when the screen is on.

weekends when I am on the phone more, I will switch to lazy. On weekdays while at work. I use the wheatley as he screen is off more.

As for the schedulers, my phone just seems to run the smoothest on noop. That is my main and only reason I use it.

What was your usage to get to 6hr screen time...meaning what were you using the phone for those 6 hrs? Was it in one location and I am assuming u had great signal...

I have found that ur sprint signal has a great deal of effect on battery.

It would also be helpful when you get amazing numbers like this to check with something like CPU spy or setcpu to see how much time was spent in the frequency's.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
Amazing??? Really???? Perhaps it is but when you consistently see results like this week after week, the amazement goes away and the results become expected.

When I got the nexus 4g at the end of November my batter life was horrid. During the first week of ownership, I bought 2 additional chargers and 2 additional batteries.

Now days my phone never sees a charger. All of the chargers were taken home and put in drawers forgotten about. The batteries are just rotated at bed time and the spent one is placed in the standalone charger overnight and placed at the end of the rotation every morning.
